據今日海上能源網站4月16日消息 澳大利亞伍德賽德石油公司今年第一季度的收入出現下滑。

該液化天然氣巨頭公布稱，本季度的銷售收入為10.7億美元，比2019年相應季度的13.6億美元低21.1%，也比上季度14億美元的銷售收入低23.6%。

該季度產量為2420萬桶油當量，比去年同期增長12%。

伍德賽德首席執行官Peter Coleman表示，盡管颶風和COVID-19的影響，產量仍在上升。

Peter Coleman說：“今年2月穿越澳大利亞西部海岸的熱帶氣旋達米恩是伍德賽德位于伯魯普半島的生產設施上空有史以來最重要的天氣事件。”

他補充說：“盡管如此，由于COVID-19以及供過于求和短期需求破壞的空前結合，該季度的收入受到了交易活動減少和現貨價格下降的影響。“

因此，伍德賽德將其2020年的支出削減了50%，并推遲了對其斯卡伯勒和普拉托液化天然氣2號生產線開發項目的最終投資決定。

Peter Coleman補充稱，該公司在本季度已經接手了多個項目，這些項目包括塞內加爾的Sangomar油田一期和西北大陸架的Greater Western Flank 三期。公司還推進了Pyxis Hub和Julimar-Brunello二期項目的實施。

伍德賽德預計2020年的支出約為24億美元。

伍德賽德修訂的2020年投資支出指南為17-19億美元，生產指導值保持在0.97-1.03億桶油當量不變。

伍德賽德計劃于2020年9月在西北陸架液化天然氣設施的3號生產線上進行維護工作。該公司將NWS液化天然氣4號生產線的檢修推遲至2021年8月。

Woodside’s Q1 revenue slips, production up

Australia’s Woodside Petroleum saw its revenue slip in the first quarter of the year.

The LNG major reported sales revenue of $1.07 billion for the quarter under review. This is 21.1 percent below the $1.36 billion from the corresponding quarter in 2019. It is also 23.6 percent below the $1.40 billion in sales revenue from the previous quarter.

The production for the quarter reached 24.2 mmboe, 12 percent higher than the corresponding period last year.

Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said the production was up despite cyclone activity and COVID-19 impacts.

“Tropical Cyclone Damien, which crossed the Western Australian coast in February, was the most significant weather event ever to pass over Woodside’s production facilities on the Burrup Peninsula,” Coleman said.

“Nevertheless, revenue for the quarter was impacted by reduced trading activity and lower realised prices due to COVID-19 and an unprecedented combination of oversupply and short-term demand destruction,” he added.

As a result, Woodside slashed its 2020 spending by 50 percent and delayed final investment decision on its Scarborough and Pluto LNG Train 2 developments.

Coleman added that the company has taken FID on a number of projects during the quarter. These projects include Sangomar field Phase 1 in Senegal and the North West Shelf’s Greater Western Flank Phase 3. The company also progressed the execution of Pyxis Hub and Julimar-Brunello Phase 2 projects.

Woodside expects its expenditure for 2020 to be approximately $2,4 billion.

Woodside’s revised investment expenditure guidance for 2020 is $1.7 – 1.9 billion. Woodside’s production guidance remains unchanged at 97 – 103 mmboe.

Woodside scheduled maintenance works at the North West Shelf LNG facility’s Train 3 for September 2020. The company deferred the NWS LNG Train 4 turnaround to August 2021.
